KC CURRENTS 5-20-2007

By Ty Chandler, Alex Smith and Sylvia Maria Gross

Kansas City, MO – New perspectives on a recent controversy over a facility for cab drivers at Kansas City International Airport. Plus, health experts, clergy and families discuss the prevalence of asthma in Kansas City's black community. And a visit to New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and a story of a boy and his hero, baseball's homerun champion Hank Aaron.
